In ‘Eurotipodes - Colonial Capsize’ a semitransparent horse hangs upside down, merged with a kangaroo in a red colonial landscape. The diaphanous layered landscape reimagines colonial paintings from the Mitchell Library, referencing time, ecological and cultural change. Two iconic creatures are joined. In this work Glynn is reflecting on what is an ‘Australian’ landscape?
